Easy Thai Chicken with Rice Recipe Highlights
Today, I will share this amazing One Pot Easy Thai Chicken with Rice recipe I made a few days ago. This One Pot Easy Thai Chicken with Rice dish comes together in one pot, feed a hungry little crowd, and requires little cleanup later. It doesn’t get any easier than this!! This recipe is a mix of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy hot together in a meal—a FEAST for your taste buds.
Chicken: I used bone-in skinless chicken thighs. You can also use chicken legs or chicken breasts (cut into bite sizes). Salt and freshly ground pepper to season For the Thai Marinade: You’ll need sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, reduced-sodium soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, fresh ginger, and fresh lime juice. Oil: Vegetable oil or canola oil. Rice: I used Long Grain Parboiled Rice for this recipe. I like this type of rice because the cooked grains are drier and less starchy, so they cook light and fluffy and don’t get sticky if cooked properly. Chicken stock: Homemade or store-bought. To serve and garnish: peanuts, fresh cilantro leaves, and red pepper flakes.
The Sauce-Marinade is used as a quick marinade for the chicken before, but you could absolutely marinade overnight if you want. The same marinade/sauce can be used to marinate Shrimp, chicken breasts, beef, and pork.
Spicy. If your family is not used to eating spicy food, avoid using the red pepper flakes at the end and reduce the amount of Shirata sauce. Vegetarian. Use mushrooms instead of chicken and vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. Chicken. Use chicken breasts instead of thighs for a leaner alternative (thighs will result in more flavor). Rice.I used Long Grain Parboiled Rice for this recipe. I like this type of rice because the cooked grains are drier and less starchy, so they cook light and fluffy and don’t get sticky if cooked properly.
